Chapter 690: 692, roll, roll, roll! (first update)
At that moment, the old Madam Mo needed to find a way to calm Luo Yu down first.
She absolutely couldn’t allow her to find any flaws.
"You think it’s too early, but I don’t think it’s early," Luo Yu curled her lips up, looking at the old Madam Mo, she demanded, "Or is it that you simply refuse to acknowledge my identity?"
"Of course not," the old Madam Mo smiled faintly, comforting, "Since you carry the Mo family’s flesh and blood, our Mo family will not refuse to acknowledge you."
"If that’s the case, let’s set up a banquet then. All those people I just mentioned, invite them all without exception. Otherwise, Aunt Mo, you should know the consequences," Luo Yu said.
As she spoke that last sentence, Luo Yu took out a dagger and waved it in front of the old Madam Mo.
The extremely sharp dagger glistened with a cold light under the sunshine.
"It doesn’t matter if I die," Luo Yu threatened, "it’s just a pity for your four grandsons. They haven’t even had the chance to open their eyes and see this world. How pitiful!"
Now, Luo Yu was resolute in her decision.
After all, in the end, the old Madam Mo would still opt for "save the mother by sacrificing the child," so Luo Yu might as well take control back into her own hands now.
Worst comes to worst, it would just mean death.
"Don’t be impulsive," the old Madam Mo raised her hand, fearing the dagger might accidentally hurt Luo Yu, and continued, "Luo Yu, rest assured, I will definitely take care of the matter you mentioned, but not right now. We’re out of time to prepare. Let’s discuss this further and pick a good date."
"Today!" Luo Yu glared at the old Madam Mo, "Aunt Mo, don’t think I’m unaware of what you’re plotting. You’re just trying to ’save the child by sacrificing the mother.’ Let me tell you, Luo Yu is not so easy to bully. If you don’t give me an explanation today, I will ensure that your Mo family never has descendants. Then, you can’t blame me for not showing mercy."
As she spoke that last sentence, Luo Yu pressed the dagger against her own throat, and immediately, a trace of blood appeared on her pale neck.
The old Madam Mo was shocked. She hadn’t expected Luo Yu to understand the situation so thoroughly. It seemed that today she had no choice but to do as Luo Yu said.
"Alright, I agree!" the old Madam Mo slowly spoke up, extending her right hand, "Give me back the dagger quickly."
Upon hearing this, a triumphant gleam flashed across Luo Yu’s eyes.
That serves the old hag right for being sensible.
The more the old Madam Mo cared about the child in Luo Yu’s belly, the more delighted Luo Yu felt.
Had it not been for the old Madam Mo’s attentiveness, Luo Yu wouldn’t be parading around with such pomp in the Mo household.
If things continued this way, the Mo family might have to change its surname!
The old Madam Mo realized this too, her brows furrowed, and a deep gloom filled her eyes.
But, at this point, she had no other option but to yield to Luo Yu.
Luo Yu returned the dagger to the old Madam Mo, took out a handkerchief, and casually wiped the blood from her neck, smiling, "Aunt Mo, I’ll go back to my room for now. Remember to send someone to fetch me when the banquet starts this evening."
With these words, Luo Yu turned and left.
Of course, Luo Yu returned to her room.
Now that the old Madam Mo had agreed to her requests, she needed to dress up splendidly and prepare for the evening’s banquet.
After all, the guests arriving tonight were all important figures.
She had to show the presence of the Mo family’s daughter-in-law.
Otherwise, how could she subdue those people?
Just as Luo Yu had returned to her room, she found Luo Yingjie sitting there.
Upon seeing Luo Yu come back, Luo Yingjie immediately acted obsequiously and poured her tea, "Yu Yu must be thirsty, please drink some tea. I just brewed it, it’s fresh."
Disdain was written all across Luo Yu’s eyes and face, but she still sat down with some patience, "Tell me, how much do you want this time?"
Luo Yu felt disgusted just by looking at Luo Yingjie a bit more.
Although Luo Yingjie resided in the Mo household, he was idle all day long, indulging in eating, drinking, and pleasure, so he didn’t earn a salary. All his expenditures came from Luo Yu.
Luo Yu was essentially his personal ATM.
"Yu Yu really understands me," Luo Yingjie smiled ingratiatingly, "Yu Yu, uncle has been unlucky lately, so give me whatever you have!"
Upon hearing this, Luo Yu knew he had been gambling again!
Luo Yu said with a sense of frustrated disappointment, "How many times have I told you not to gamble anymore! Don’t gamble anymore! Why won’t you listen? I’m not a cash machine! I don’t have that much money."
Luo Yu didn’t have much money each month, and every expense was recorded.
Taking advantage of her pregnancy, she had already taken quite a bit of money from the Mo family.
Upon hearing this, Luo Yingjie immediately became very unhappy and said, "I didn’t take it to gamble! Do you think this doesn’t cost money?" As he spoke, Luo Yingjie took out a transparent box from his pocket and placed it on the table.
Inside the transparent box, there seemed to be a lump resembling a crystal.
Seeing this, Luo Yu’s expression softened a bit. She took the box, sighed slightly, and said, "Uncle, I really don’t have any more money! Just stay put in the Mo household and don’t run around anymore!"
"Don’t be ungrateful!" Luo Yingjie slammed the table and stood up, shouting angrily, "The old Madam Mo is treating you like an ancestor, and you say you have no money? Who would believe your lies! Give me the money now! Otherwise, neither of us will have it easy!"
Luo Yingjie, confident in his hold over Luo Yu’s secret, had become increasingly arrogant lately with more frequent money demands, like a bottomless pit, completely shameless.
Luo Yu was nearly at her limit.
"Luo Yu! You little slut! Are you giving it or not!" Luo Yingjie demanded again.
Luo Yu bit her lip, a look of forbearance on her face; she reminded herself that she must hold back!
Impatience leads to trouble.
Luo Yu stood up, took a little wooden box from beside her bed, and placed it in front of Luo Yingjie, opening the lid, "This is all I have. Take it, and don’t gamble anymore! I really can’t afford you!"
The wooden box contained all kinds of jewels and gold coins, high-value currency.
It could practically blind Luo Yingjie with its glare.
Luo Yingjie hugged the wooden box to his chest, "Enough, enough, Yu Yu, I promise this is the last time. I won’t gamble again!"
"Alright, get out," Luo Yu said with disgust, closing her eyes.
This Luo Yingjie is truly disgusting, why can’t he just stay at home like that paralyzed man, instead of coming here to pollute her eyes!
"Alright, alright, alright," Luo Yingjie, carrying the wooden box, nodded and bowed to Luo Yu, "I’m leaving now, I’ll leave immediately, don’t be angry Yu Yu, being angry is not good for the fetus."
Luo Yingjie was really concerned about the child in Luo Yu’s womb.
If it weren’t for these children, the Mo family would never have allowed Luo Yu to stay; Luo Yingjie was a smart man, he knew Luo Yu was valuable because of her child.
To Luo Yingjie, these children were practically a money tree.
No sooner had Luo Yingjie stepped out the door than he turned back, looked at Luo Yu, and continued, "Yu Yu, can you be a bit nicer to Mo’s old lady? After all, we’re eating her food, living in her house! And spending her money! How can you let her do your laundry! Really! If one day you annoy her and she kicks you out, what will you do then!"
"My business is none of your concern!" Luo Yu waved her hand, "Just get lost!"
But Luo Yingjie didn’t want to leave, and continued, "Ignoring the advice of your elders, you will face the consequences soon, there are many more women in this world who can lay eggs than you!"
This time Luo Yingjie had finally come to his senses.
He was reminding Luo Yu to restrain herself, after all, there were plenty of women willing to bear Mo Zhixuan’s children, and she wouldn’t be missed.
Actually, Luo Yingjie was afraid that once Luo Yu fell out of favor, his good days would be over.
"Get out, get out, get out!" Luo Yu couldn’t bear it any longer.
Just wait, one day she would make sure Luo Yingjie was dead!
He was just too much of an eyesore!
He was quite simply a stain in her life.
Meanwhile.
Poland Mountain.
It was already noon, so Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were sitting in the diner to eat with Uncle Wu and Aunt Lin.
After this meal, which served as a farewell, Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan would immediately descend the mountain.
"We owe Jin so much this time, if it weren’t for Jin, this old body of mine would have been eroded by the cold butterfly," said Uncle Wu gratefully to Chu Jin at the dining table.
"Yes, Jin really has worked hard these days, come on Jin, have a chicken leg," Aunt Lin picked up a chicken leg and placed it in Chu Jin’s bowl, then continued, "But we also have Zhixuan to thank for his support, without Zhixuan, Jin might not have been able to find those herbs so smoothly."
In Aunt Lin’s heart, although Chu Jin’s contributions were undeniable, Mo Zhixuan also had credit.
Without Mo Zhixuan, Chu Jin alone could not have possibly found those ten herbs on the dangerous peak of Poland Mountain.
Mo Zhixuan sipped tea and spoke slowly, "This matter doesn’t have much to do with me, it’s all Jin’s credit, I don’t even know what the herbs look like."
Aunt Lin chuckled, "Zhixuan, don’t be so modest."
Chu Jin also smiled, "Right, Zhixuan, you’re being too modest." Actually, what Aunt Lin said was correct, Mo Zhixuan truly did provide a lot of help, without him, it would not have been so easy for her to find all ten herbs.
Mo Zhixuan?
Aunt Lin frowned slightly.
How could Chu Jin call Mo Zhixuan by his name?
This was a bit...
After all, Mo Zhixuan was the leader of the Superpower World, surely some respect was due, right?
After the meal.
The two prepared to descend the mountain.
In fact, they had wanted to leave three days ago but were kept there until now due to the repeated entreaties from Uncle Wu and Aunt Lin.
Before they left, Aunt Lin stopped Chu Jin, "Jin, I have something private to tell you."
"Sure," Chu Jin followed Aunt Lin into the inner room.
Uncle Wu then said to Mo Zhixuan, "While they’re talking, let’s go have some tea."
Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly and went to the main room with Uncle Wu.
During the time they spent together, Uncle Wu had come to treat Mo Zhixuan like his own son.
Mo Zhixuan was well-informed, knowledgeable about things both earthly and celestial, so he and Uncle Wu had a lot to talk about.
The two chatted over tea about the future situation.
Inside the room.
Aunt Lin and Chu Jin sat on the edge of the bed, and she took out something wrapped in blue cloth from the head of the bed and handed it to Chu Jin.
"What’s this, godmother?" Chu Jin looked up in confusion.
Aunt Lin smiled and said, "Open it and see."
Chu Jin uncovered the blue cloth, revealing an old object exposed to the air.
Despite its age, it was very beautiful and well-preserved by Aunt Lin, making it look as good as new.
It was a hairpin used to secure hair.
The silver hairpin was very delicate and exquisitely made, with a silver tassel adorned with a ruby that sparkled dazzlingly under the light.
Looking at the hairpin, Aunt Lin’s eyes showed a hint of a smile, and she continued, "This hairpin was the betrothal gift your godfather gave me when we got married, the only dowry. At that time, I married into the Wu family wearing this hairpin. Now, I’m giving it to you, hoping you can wear it on your wedding day."
Considering the significance, the hairpin was like a token of love between Aunt Lin and Uncle Wu, so of course, Chu Jin couldn’t accept it.
"Godmother, I can’t accept such a precious thing," Chu Jin placed the hairpin back on the table.
"Keep it. I don’t have any other daughters, just you and Jian’er, and Jian’er, being a big boy, has no use for it. If you also don’t want it, then I really have no one to pass it on to," Aunt Lin said, a tinge of desolation in her eyes at the last sentence.
With the conversation having reached this point, Chu Jin had no choice but to accept the hairpin, "Thank you,
